What is your blade count?

[SUNA]

I've got to be 3000+ now for personal use.

My AD is for blades.

[jmg]

I have 90 Astra SP's and keep them tucked away in my Simpson MC 2 brush box to save space.

[rm71]

I am in the 1000-ish. Enough for the near future but not enough to rest assured...

I can just see what's going through you mind when you said "not enough to rest assured"

[rm71]

I did an official count today. I have 1545 blades made up of:

Derby 215
Red IP 515
German Wilkinsons 170
Indian Wilkinsons 175
Astra Superior Stainless 200
Shark Super Stainless 220
Dorco ST 301 20

A good stash but still not enough to sleep well at night

I have maybe 130 blades on hand. Thing is, I hear ASR is finally bankrupt for real. So, I'm going to order 100 each of Israeli Blues, BP-9000s, and maybe some of the Med-Preps as well by next month.

Luckily, I do favor other brands as well. But I really like the Personnas and I'm going to make sure I don't miss 'em as long as they're available!

OK, Here Goes:

• 250 Personna Hospital Use
• 120 Personna (Red IP)
• 300 Shark
• 120 Blue Bird
• 100 Green Gillette
• 100 Super Max
• 50 Crystal
• 30 Feathers

• 20 Nacet

This does not count some loose blades or Gillette packages for Old cases.

Jeepers, Bit! Ya left out a partridge in a pear tree!

[media]

I have about 20 Red Personnas left, 20 Astra Plats, 20 Gillette Bleue Extras, a pack of sharks, a pack of GEM Personnas, and about 60-70 NOS Schick Injector Platinum Blades left. Maybe 3 or 4 feather blades.

I was thinking I was getting low on blades, but maybe not after making a list.

I like my blades!!
I said it before and I will say it again, The penny pincher social group had the opposite effect.
I should be in the Blade Hoarders Social group! Now There is an idea. Membership only for those with over 500 blades in stock.

Yeah, well, you mugs have gotten me good and scared now. I'm gonna buy 100 Shark SC and 250 Personna BP-9000 for starters. I'll be in your club by New Year's Day, I think!

ASR is going down! Chicken Little was an optimist!

[Stubblefield]

Thats a great deal!!

It is. I faxed them my order and had it within 5 days.

Just stocked up on another 500 Astra Superior Stainless

[whereisandy]

Do yourself a favor, you can purchase 1100 Astra SPs for about $107 shipped from Barber Depot in NJ.

With all the rumors and speculation about the Russian blade factories moving/stopping production, etc. and the impending Shavepocalypse I called Barber Depot today and have 1100 blades coming. I may have to build an addition to store all of them.

I had thought about driving from Central NJ to their store but they aren't open on weekends and that would be the only time I could get there. After factoring gas and tolls it made more sense to just pay for postage.

I think I'm all set for the next few years...

[El Judio Bravo]

Probably a dumb question...but...why do (some) people keep so many blades on hand? I mean, well...100 would last over a year or so - assuming 2 changes a week. I have 70 or so on hand as a result of 2 sample pack purchases and I feel a bit ridiculous even having that many around.

B-b-but the packages are so bright and pretty! All those colors! Must get more colors ... Need additional hues ... Other countries' products ... Buy!

AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!

I just faxed in another order of 1100. Now I'm set for life.

Tho I seriously doubt they will stop producing Astras anytime soon.

[DE Shaver]

Well, I have concluded I have too big a stock. I think 6000+ blades is enough.

[rm71]

6000+ is not too big a stock

[DE Shaver]

6000+ is not too big a stock

I'm glad you think so!

[don.putnick]

Well, I have concluded I have too big a stock. I think 6000+ blades is enough.

You need to protect your stock: 2000 in your shave den, 2000 in your garage, and 2000 at an offsite location.

That's being fully hardware redundant. Good thinking!
